Next time call the FD and they will come and shovel it out...much concern re: CO poisoning in this storm. Our condo assoc prez was walking around our complex this AM with a shovel making sure vents were clear, but we are a small commjnity of only 46 units. stay warm and get hour Dad well...fast!

wow! YOu are a tenacious one!! Good for you for getting the needful done. Mom and Dad are lucky to have ole Bets around right now I'd say. Cleanup remains underway over here in Malden. Stay warm and cozy. I am having fun blog hopping and cooking and playing trivial pursuit!

OMG! I knew when I went to read blogs this am, that, you, were in Boston and that you would be p@$$*d. lol And you didn't let us down. On a serious note, it is a good thing that you were there to make sure your mom and dad were ok. You're a good daughter. (I mean that seriously.)

Delicate flower, I was waiting to hear from you. Hopefully you will be back in the warm sunshine soon and post more cheerful decorating advice! I do not want to hear about the snow; I live with it! LOLStay warm!

We totally dodged a bullet here in SE Pa. No snow!!! Got the WIND but that's all. You are one tenacious broad, and I say that affectionately. Your Mom and dad are lucky to have you. Hope you get back to sunny Fl. soon. XO, Pinky

Remember the Blizzard of 78? I was still up in MA for that. They are saying this one is worse! Maybe you were meant to be up there as a reminder of that nasty stuff and how much you lurve Fleridida! I'm stuck in DC area, halfway between my childhood home in MA and my retirement home in FL. So glad the snow missed us. Cheers! Beth C.

They are now naming snowstorms and they called this one Nemo. I think it's safe to assume that this time, Nemo found us... We got hit hard here in Ontario on Friday, but I think you folks in Boston got a double helping!! Doesn't it make you appreciate your Florida abode even more?

I 'm with you Betsy. I want to get out of here and get down to our house in Florida. We have 2 and 3 foot drifts here on Cape Cod. And no power from Friday night until 5:30 this morning. We are out of here on Thursday on our way to Florida. Yahoo!!!! Glad your parents are safe and warm.

I know your parents were so happy to have you there to help them. And what heroic efforts, Betsy! You're a good daughter.

Wish you were here to enjoy the weather. All of our azaleas are blooming along with the camelias. It's a little early for azaleas, but the camelias are right on schedule. That being said, here's the tradeoff... you will be there when the weather turns beautiful and when we are battling heat and humidity. You lucky girl, you! The best of both worlds!

Hi Betsy, Daughter Betsy to the rescue! I would have moved snowed and earth too, to get to my parents. The poor dears without heat, Burrr. I have never lived in snow, I think it always looks so pretty in pictures and we have rented a cabin in the snow for a weekend. That is the extent of my snow living. I wimp out when its cooled in my bed at night so I keep the electric blanket turned up..LOL so I am a delicate little flower too. Have a sweet week, Elizabeth

Hello Betsy, I can sympathize with you , somewhat. We live in sunny California, between San Diego and Los Angeles, just about 20 miles from the ocean. It is NOT supposed to snow here. That's why we pay such obnoxious property taxes - for the great weather. Anyway, WE had 9" of snow on Dec. 30th. It lasted 5 days. We were out of power for 3.5 days. Guess what, there are no snow plows here! We had snow sticking to our stucco house almost up to the roofline with windblown drifts that made it almost impossible to get out of the doors and we don't have snow inserts! Thankfully my son drove up to see us and helped to get us out. However, his poor little children and wife had to walk 3 blocks in the snow because his car got stuck in a drift. We have a 4 wheel drive so once we got our car dug out we got his car dug out. Happily no one froze to death. It WILL be an experience that his 4 year old will not forget!

I've been a designer for longer than some of you have been alive. I have now started a new page of my career, closing my firm and designing furniture, as well as writing decorating books. Some of you may be familiar with my work over the years by seeing me in magazines. I tend to think that I'm funny, so please read my postings with a grain of salt thrown in for flavor. My spelling is atrocious, so I am refusing any responsibility for spell check right here and now. I hope anyone reading this will enjoy the pictures, info and humor.
